Orange Skin

Celebrity Shades of Pumpkin Make for Major Peau Faux Pas

Orange is the new black… apparently. We've seen Lindsay Lohan tout her new spray-on tan lotion, magazines feature a Lady Gaga more orange than a clown fish and with the Donatella Versaces of the world, may the Oompa Loompas rejoice.

As Martha would say “It’s a good thing." Unfortunately, for celebrities such as The Donald, it’s not a good thing when your skin tone is held in comparison to one of, notorious mobster, John Gotti’s grandsons.
